When is the Initial Straw Poll expected to happen?

The Initial Straw Poll is expected to take place after April 18, 2026, because this timing allows for the necessary preparation and organization of the conference's activities and agenda items. Conducting the poll after this date aligns with standard practices for gathering participant feedback and gauging opinions on critical issues discussed at the conference. This ensures that attendees have ample opportunity to familiarize themselves with the topics at hand and present informed opinions, thus leading to a more meaningful and effective polling process.

A, B, and D do not align with the structured approach necessary for such feedback mechanisms. For instance, holding the poll before the conference might not capture the insights from the discussions that occur during the event, while having it after the conference would miss the opportunity to use the gathered insights in real time.
